reviews and complaints

Let me start by saying that the one star given is site permitting, they really don't even deserve that!

They promise a service, take payment immediately then disappear. This is the promise : ***(Installation can take up to 14 days from when you have placed your order on the Mweb website. Once you've placed your order, Mweb submits the order to Vuma Reach who check to see if Fibre is available at your address.)***

IT HAS BEEN 20 DAYS STILL NO FIBRE AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SEND A MESSAGE SAYING THAT WE SHOULD NOT CONTACT THEM !

I WILL BE TAKING THIS FURTHER

I placed an order online for fibre on the 18.08.2022 and wanted to cancel on the 19.08.2022.

I made numerous calls and no one is picking up...All i get is the recordings

The order is flagged on mwebs system and I havent made payment as yet.

From the reviews I have read i am having second thoughts about using this service provider.

Due to the inflight order on their system i cannot use another service provider.

Good afternoon

Please can you assist me?

I used to get this message a few times a day "A client error as occurred. please try again."

I now get it on every email message I either open to read, sending a message or evening looking for an old message.

I am struggling to use Mweb!

IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS since we moved 29 July 2022 and WE STILL DONT HAVE FIBRE.

OUR SON WRITING MATRIC PRELIMS (ONLINE SCHOOL) NO FIBRE another REFERENCE – MWB21689298 - WE ARE TOLD TODAY THAT THEY CAN ONLY COME AN EVALUATE THE ISSUE ON 23 AUGUST. YOUR SERVICE IS NOTHING SHORT OF SHOCKING.

MY SON WRITES HIS PRELIMS CAT PRACTICAL on 22ND AUG (MONDAY) ONLINE SCHOOLING NEEDS FIBRE

AND PRELIMS IT PRACTICAL on 23rd AUG, 24Th AUG (TUESDAY) & (WEDNESDAY) ONLINE SCHOOLING NEEDS FIBRE

NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SPUERVISOR TO CALM US DOWN AFTER 3 WEEKS OF WAITING !

Do we need to fly down to your head office to get help?

We have waited 3 weeks for the fibre REF NB215568737 and another REF MWB21689298 and another REF MWB [protected]

Honestly where must we go at this late stage !

I caution everyone who wants to subscribe to Mweb to rethink. I have logged a call with them on 1 of August Monday as the fibre was out - the Nokia boxs' alarm light is red and no internet whatsoever. They told me the fault is with Vodacom. 8 Days later I still did not receive any feedback or any technician call out and still no internet. So I called again, they told me they would escalate. As this did not solve my problem I called Vodacom directly. I got hold of someone who was willing to help only to be informed that Mweb NEVER logged any call whatsoever with them for my fault - Vodacom had no record of any fault report. I then logged a call with Vodacom directly. I did also reached out to Mweb via Facebook also during this time. And the kicker is that on day 8 they just responded that it takes 6 - 10 days for a technician to come out - but this was on the day I found out that for 8 days Vodacom didn't not have any fault logged with them. So now I am still waiting for repair or a technician to just contact me it is August the 17th - 17 days with no internet - I work from home and am currently buying data to keep going which is not cheap. The best part of this whole saga is that although I have been without internet for 17 days now and have been lied to - they sent me a bill for this month - and you guessed it - I am being billed for a whole months (non-existent) service.

I have been calling for months, trying to just get a speed correctly loaded and correct.

When calling the Call Centre, I am transferred three times to different departments and nobody has an idea what is happening. I called today again, from the technical team to two consultants having no idea what they are doing and then they drop the call and send me an email saying its now activated.

Service ethic is PATHETIC...

Disappointed!

I have had no internet since Thursday morning no one has come out to fix my internet connection issue,called yesterday they say someone was there I was at home whole day checking there was no one apparently the issue was resolved,nobody let me know they coming,I am now on day 5 no internet and I need it for work,if I don't pay my account you disconnect my internet but now I am disconnected paying for no service,on top of that I need to go buy airtime to call because you guys only got 086 and 087 numbers which u can't call with contract cell phone,I am very disappointed in the service not to mention how my fibre box looks from the inside

So apparently today there was internet outage so I couldn't connect to internet so was my whole estate, everyone then confirmed that the issue was resolved but I still couldn't connect so later I decided to call tech support and I spoke to useless Jan who failed dismally to help me, the call was taking so long I asked him if he would call back if I got disconnected which he responded that oh no we don't make outgoing calls... which if your call gets disconnected you literally on your own.. As long as Mweb keeps taking your money they couldn't care less if your query is resolved or not, I got disconnected, spent a fortune on that call and on data that I had to buy since useless Jan could not call me back and could not resolve my issue. Can someone phone me in the morning to connect me or cancel my service for free so I can go to a pro customer service provider!

I received an email from mweb saying my storage was nearly full.

As in the past I went to my mweb account logged in and confirmed storage nearly full. That is - as in the past the storage on the mweb site. NOT the storage on my p.c.

So as in the past I deleted lots of old emails in the belief that my emails on my pc were not part of this procedure.

The emails on my p.c. were also deleted.

I have lost lots of legally binding emails and contacts.

Can these be retrieved from mweb?

VERY ANNOYED.

When I upgraded my line from 3/30 to 30 /30 my WiFi stop to work phone MWEB how many times spend R300 airtime said I must manual set I did now say my username invalid I phone and still no feed back really I am so upset and want to cancel in the first place one put fiber why because one don't have signal now MWEB say mam just go in internet and follow steps what don't you understand no signal if no WiFi network so so bad my contract phone me [protected]

I had logged a complaint more than a month ago & waiting for even longer for the install to be completed with the worst company mweb, as they advertise the fibre services for vuma & even include a promotion with an upfront payment that was already made, but now to get the fibre reach installed, we cannot even get this company mweb to contact us back or even a simple sms to let us know it was prolonged.

Hello, can you tell me why mweb is taking so long for services that never started as yet, there was no install or wi-fi internet data used, can you let them know that this is outrageous & will be cancelled along with the so called services that they yet to provide. I have made the 1st payment on the 08/06/2022 & the date today is the 05/07/2022 s what the hell is going on?

To whom it may concern

My fibre line has been down since Sunday 26/06/2022 from early hours of the morning and still down. I have been following up everyday and just getting same feedback "waiting for feedback from vodacom". This is unacceptable service to be honest and I am in desperate need to get my line up as I am incurring extra cost as I am working from home and having to buy 3g data now

1. I called the Tech centre yesterday and waited 2,5 hours for someone to take my call

2. after spending 30 minutes on the call he concluded that the rooter is faulty due to load shedding

3. I was told to buy a new rooter

4. The rooter that MWeb supplied me with is less than 12 month old.

5. There is no evidence that it is the

6. Why can MWeb not supply the new rooter

7. If I buy another rooter will I have to wait another 2,5 hours before my call is anwered?

Took out a VOIP contract in addition to my fibre contract. I was told by the sales agent that my telkom landline number can be ported to voip. However in the meanwhile I was given a voip number.

All documents for the voip contract was submitted on the 18 May 2022. On the Mweb it shows that the number porting should have been done on 6 June 2022. On 17 June 2022, I tried calling Mweb to query the status of the porting. I was diverted to an automated answering where I was asked to type my number on the keypad, so that I can be contacted. Which I did. The automated system was not working kept on asking me to key in my number, even after I confirmed the number is correct. I then resorted to contacting the sales department as a new customer. The sales lady than transferred me to sales support. Support could nit give me an answer, so proceeded to escalate the matter and take my details. I was told I would be contacted with in 48 hours. I reminded her it was the weekend, I was then told I would be contacted by Tuesday 21 June 2022. The contact numbers I gave was my mweb voip number and my day time cell no. It is no Friday 24 June 2022, no one has called me.

Due to frustration I logged the query on Friday 17 June 2022, on Twitter as well. I received a reply on Wednesday 22 June 2022. I was asked to forward my contact number and account number. I DM the account number and my day time contact number. I have had no contact via the social media department.

Today Friday 24 June 2022 one week later. I started the calls again. Same as last week, the voip support and automated system not working. I then called technical support who was kind enough to give me a brief update but not much to go on. I was than transferred to another department where I could get feedback, again I could not get much support. I was transferred again, held on and then the call cut off.

I have spent so much hours on the phone just to get a feedback on the number porting, which should have been done by the 6th of June. Mweb is quick to sign you up but after sales service is pathetic.

I have never had an issue with technical support.

I first chose mweb with vumatel had contant disconnects where I had to phone mweb and go through the onoying voice prompts at least once a week just to get the same tier 1 troubleshooting then after paying them 750 to come fix the connection o still had constant disconnections. They then switched me from vumatel to openserve and today again I cannot use it because there is no internet accept mweb site that i can access. Im phoning axxess or vox in the morning mweb will never see me again nor will I recommend mweb to anyone

Absolutely pathetic service, my fibre has been down for 20 days now. I have called in almost everyday, with no results. I get lied to regarding the issue. Your internal call center staff needs training on how to [censored] a issue and resolve it. I'm a paying customer with no service, this is a fabulous establishment you are running. My airtime and my time off work will not be compensated by you, which honestly is not fair. Here is my latest reference number MWB21083439.

We have been struggling for a month with interrupted signal. Every hour we have to reset our router. We have continuesly phoned, holding on for more than 30 minutes. Problem still not fixed. On Monday we paid someone to open up as we were promised that a technician will come out. Still no one.

Clearly Mweb as gone down the drain, employing people that have any responsibility or cutomer care.

Easy to take poor South Africans money for no service. Please remove any links to service provider.

I paid money into MWEB account instead of Vumatel, then i contacted MWEB for a refund on the 30th May and i was asked to send an email at [protected]@mweb.com with my bank statement, copy of ID and POP which i did. To date i haven't received my refund they keep on telling me my bank is reversing the money. I asked for proof or reversal they send me a General journal that says Journal type- refund reversal. My banking details are not on that journal to show they were transferring money to that account so i am not even sure if they used correct banking details. I then asked for a screen shot or the error code they are getting, then Rukaya Smith says there is no other proof they can send me. i get my salary every month in that account i provided them with as well as other payments. But MWEB money get reversed and they cant even produce a proof or reason why its reversed, this really does not make sense. Its been 14 days i have been waiting for my refund and all i am hearing is my bank is reversing my refund but they cant send me proof of that. Can MWEB stop taking me for a ride and refund me please. I don't have any other banking details to provide them with. PLEASE CAN I GET MY REFUND ASAP

Good day,

I hope this email finds you well. I have wifi with Vumatel and MWEB.

These past few weeks we have been experiencing breaks in the signal or really bad internet access.

Please could you have a look at my profile and let me know if there is anything you can do for me?
